I love this book so much! It’s so unhinged and straight to the point. It’s great for a one-and-dine read that’s super quick.

This book intrigued me and for good reason. It’s a very strange topic that is all the more interesting and sad. I found it to be at least. It really makes you think.

My cousin gave me this book and it took me a long time to read it. But when I finally did I didn’t expect to connect with the story and feel deeply for what was happening. It was a great book.

The first time I have heard of this was the 2013 movie edition and I loved it so much. It was poetically beautiful and I loved how it was written. It did feel slow at times but the ending made up for it.

This was an interesting read. I don’t know how I feel about the main character because he so unpredictable in what he does or thinks. It was a journey.
